AMIO Weighs and presses With a Moitareffieliioiin every individual in the empire — might be redeemed. So long as it remains, so long must any attempt to relieve prove fruitless, 'or any rate retard for a time the ruin which is now accom plishing, and which nothing short of a measure having forits principle the reduction of taxation and of the national debt can prevent. Already the workmen in our manufactories have begun to feel the pressure—their wages unpaid—their families without support—can their patience and long suffering be measured ? The Allgentrine ..T.'citung.to the 16th February, which arrived this day gives the subjoined count of the -measures adopted by the Roman Government, for the suppression of crime. It is very nearly barren of Political intelligence, but Slightly refers to differences said to be existing between the Papal See and the King of the NE- Tutu LANDS. The A rchbiEhop ofM:sr.i`ESis, 110 dOLIht, the cause of all this. The negociation of the Colombian' agent at Rome, is proceeding with activity, and seems to furnish hopes of favourable termination.—The following are ex- tracts ROME, JAN: 29. The assassin of 'Monsignor Tractto, whose crime I mentioned in one of myformer letters; suffered on the 25th a dreadful but well-merited _punishment; being first knocked down with a hammer, &c., as described in my preceding letter, which is called here Antazza re coil colpo rli maglio (maze ?Iola) c spar - tare. It scents that the Roman ecclesiastical penal law decrees this punishment to every one who murders a priest. The cri minal who bad Murdered his master in the night in his bed, and then robbed the apartment, was brought to acknowledge the heniousness of his crime just before his execution, and to the edification of the assembled crowd, which was immense, died penitent, after confessing the.deet The mode of his punish.. anent, as well as the celerity observed in the 'proceedings (the crime was committed in the night of 7th) shews the efforts of the iloVernment to check the wickedness of the populace by the most ligerous measures. It is thought that a kind of military tribunal / 11 /111 be established, by which every convicted murderer shall be sentenced within 24 hours. Mean time the Government adopts over measures to prevent such crirnes,suspiciotta persons are stopped and examined in public places, and by night even in the streets, and searched, to see if they have .any concealed weapons about them. A journeyman carpenter, who had armee' a cane with a stiletto, has been lately prorrienaded throUgh the streets riding on an ass, and condemned to the gallies ft.-t- 6 years. The stiletto and cane were hung round his neck. As the cumber of criminals sentenced to hard, litbour has greatly increased within Year, the Government has resolved to employ a part .of the,:t in digging up the Forum Romanum and Via Sacra.: Eighty , ' Prisoners have been thus employed since the tad of this month.

From Glasgow, Edinburgh, Yorkshire, and Lancashire, the accounts agree in stating, ll►at bills being no longer convertible into cash or notes, the working Classes are compell ed to raise supplies of necessaries from the shopkeepers, on small drafts. Notwithstanding the palpable distress of the masters, there is a general resistance to reduction of wages,—in place of which, the workers propose a diminution of the hours of labour.

THE KING. WINDSOR, FEn. 2 - 1 --The Morning Papers of this clay con tained a statement (copied from, an Evening Paper) that his .MAJESTY ,is . confined at the Royal Lodge .by a severe tit of the gout. llis+Majesty is certainly :not so well as we could wish, having taken a slight cold,either from his journeyto the Metropolis on Wednesday last,-or during his airing on Thurs day in the Great-Park. This alone has been the cause of his Majesty's confinement; and we have every reason to hope that a few days will restore him to perfect health. Her Royal Highness the Princess - Augusta took an - airing yesterday fore noon, 'through 'llatchet, Upton, and Slough, and returned through Windsor, accompanied by her Lady in Waiting. VIENNA FESTIVITIES.—FEn. JO. The grand masquerade, which has been long preparing, took place last Monday in the residence of the British Ambassador, Sir Henry Wellesley, with extraordinary magnificence. All the rank and fashitm of the linperial capital seemed to have united to add histre to this fAte. Twelve quadrilles were formed, at the head of which appeared the amiable Archthichess Hen rietts, in 'the character 'of Mary Queen of Scots, accompanied by the Archducheks Cleinentine, as Catherine Seyton. The `Archduke Francis Charles and Prince Leopold of Sicily were also present. On the following day the whole company went to the Imperial Palace, where their Majesties the Emperor and Empress; the Queen 'Dowager of Bavaria, with the Princesses her daughters, and the whole Imperial FaMily, were assembled -in the Hall of M irrors, to see all the 12 quadrilki pass in proces sion. As it was also the eve of the birthday of her Majesty the Empress, all were desirous of paying their respects to the beloved Princess. Her Imperial Majesty went to meet each quadrille as it came forward, and conversed in the mast affable manner with the ladies, the splendour of whose costume baffles all description. The Prince of Salerno appeared as the Caliph Haroun al Itaschid, accompanied by the Persian Poet Alzaid (the celebrated Orientalist, M. Joseph Von Hammer), who took this opportunity to distribute Poems in the Persian and German languages, i, honottr of the Empress. The procession of the masques occupied three hours, and at ten o'clock their Majes. ties withdrew into their apartments. The twelve quadrilles, composed of a hundred, and sixty-two ladies and' gentlemen, bore. the following names, from time scenes of History or Ho. Mance which they represented The Abbot, from Sir. Walter Scott ; the Lion Heart, 'La Motte Fatigue; Kenilworth, Walter Scott; Undine, La Motte Fatigue; Quentin DUrwardi NValter Scott; The Four Brothers, La Motte Fouque ; the (unstable of Chester, Scott ; Lihussa, Hamlet, and Polohoise. • • sup— ARRIVALS IN TOWN.

MATRIMONIAL MANIA.-At this moment pro. edings are taking for the interdiction of two old men, who wish to marryarat that age when one usually blesses the union of one's chil dren, The one, M. le Marquess de Lingaunay, the possessor of a hundred thousand livres a year, and already at the age of 69, intends to give his name to a young villager, the daughter of one of Isis tenants, and whose age of 18 is her sole fortune. T Ike demandeur en i n t e dictionisson.in-law , M. le 'Marquess de Bridges. The other old man, named Thomas Lalfe, a fat mer,and owner of 8 or 9 hun dred franc s a year, wishes, at the age of 83, to become the husband of a young girl, whose grandfather he might be considered. These two proceedings, which are carrying on at. the same time before the Civil Tribunal of Caen, excite curiosity in a very great degree. Two hundred itnesses are to be heard, and the inquiries have already commenced. A Gascon, of the depart ment of l'Arriege, the servant of the village Cu rate, has just given the most singular example of matrimoniomania. Bound formerly by a vow of Chastity, he journeyed to Rome to obtainif3raereis dual from his oaths, and has returned to marry a ;•oman of seventy-five, without for t : l : it : o i l : marry Paper.) • widow ( t the heiressll e ( I? f u t k h e e of p ullkleoortir Newcastle, then the Duke of Albemarle.

However, he add r essed, prevailed, and wedd e d her, as E m p eror o f Chi n a ; and so firmly fixed was this, as a reality, in her deranged mind, that until her death in 1734, she never would sillier any one to appr oac h her but as EirlpreSS• and she was, accoalingly, always served upon . the knee. ORATORIO. - • •• -- CoVENV- GARDEN „,„ new Ora torio by Sir Joust . STrirrmsom, was performed last night. An Oratorio is, and necessarily must be, a musical novelty of peculiarly rare occurrence. The difficulties to be surmounted are formidable, and ,probabilities of success but Music, deprived of all the appliances and means" which the deep rations of the stage and the excitements of the drama soppy, must be of commanding merit, to engage and gratify a mixed and numerous audience. And sacred mmtie, especially, from, its solemnity and severity, is likely to proire tedious to all but those who have a mutual aptitude or a cultivated taste for the an. The lasting popularity of Handel .is the best answer to those who flippantly talk of England as a country where genuine musical feeling, and sound musical judgment, arc not to be found. In the fine arts, as well as in more serious concerns, - our choice has been fixed upon substantial excellence, instead of falling on the brilliant trifle* of an hour. The proditctionaof the German school—productions not only unequalled, but not even approached by any competition—have no where found so warm a welcome or so permanent a home as amidst the congenial ad, miration of the people of Great Britain. This circumstance adds to the dangers which surround a liVing writer of sacred music; and, upon the whole, it may be said, that in such a situation, not to have failed, is to have succeeded in no inconsiderable de gree. This success, Sir John Stevenson may congratulate hito self on having achieved. If he has not accomplished any thing, that will raise him to a level with the great men who have pre ceded him; on the other hand, he has not incurred the impu tation of temerity. The words of The Thanksgiving consist . almost entirely of , texts from Scripture, put . together without any obvious attention to arrangement. Art' a musical coin position' it sheies the piste and skill for which the repute tion of Sir John was already established, together with a. general adherence to the character of Sacred March, which could not have been expected from his previous eilbrts, in a style less serious and austere. •This praise, indeed, is not uniformly deserved. There Is here and there a touch of patch-work, a streak of gaudy colour, intermixed with the sober gray, or a fragment of tinsel glittering on the black &a . - pery—and where these things appear, they are offensive,enough but they are far less frequent than even a favourable critic would have anticipated. The great defect of the Oratorio, as far as its popularity is concerned, is the wantof some striking solos. With the exception of a tine air, The Snares °Meath, which was en cored, there is not a solo which leaves a strong impression, nothing of spirit-stirring energy, or delightful melody. 'This air was admirably delivered by Mr. Phillips, a young singer, who bids fair to be a standard acquisition to the orchestra. His upper notes arc remarkably good, and are not only brought out with accuracy, but sustained with an effectiveness of which a bass voice is rarely capable: Witham and Miss Stephens sang with their accustomed ability, but had no opportunity for the full display of their powers.' Miss Paton give her portion of the recitative, with much spirit and expression. Madame Vestris had an air, in which site was accompanied by Sir George Smart, on the organ. Tito air is not without beauty, but Madame Vestris did not sing it with her usual felicity, The main reliance seems to have been on the chorusses, and on the concerted pieces for three, four, and five voices. In the former there is much occasional force and animation, and although passages occur, now and then, which 11111) , be re. cognised as old acquaintances, they exhibit a fair portion of nality. The concert appears One rather pleasing than powerful. A quartet by Miss Farrar, Mr. Robinson, Mr. llorncastle, and Alr. Phillips, beginning, And bow thine ear, succeeded by a elm rus, possesses considerable beauty. In the accompaniments, the powers of the orchestra are sometimes misapplied, and particu lar instruments rather awkwardly introduced. It would be well too, to expunge, or alter, some brief . pasiages in the ac companiments, which are either inappropriate of themselves, or already familiar in Opera or Melo-drame. The success of the Oratorio may render it worth while to correct any blernisheit which can be easily removed, and to give it a diligent rehearsal before the next performance. The applause on the conclusion of The Thanksgiving was warm and unanimous. A miscel- Lneous Act; consisting of popular airs; concluded the' enter tainment. The house was well , attended. , EAti. —A New York Paper of the 310' ult.

Madame CATAI.ANI is nt present in Naples, where she holds Academies during the Carnival. On the 20th of last month she sung at Rome, in the Tentro Valle. Never did that theatre overflow with 'an audienCe so select and so ,nu nrerous ; never was seen gathered in one place so great an assembly of all the illustriodi persons whore Rome contains.—(Nitan Gozeite'..) A petite piece, entitled The Suieidee l has been produced in Paris, avowedly written . 'excite laughter a t the expence or poor Jean Buhl. The Parisians have welcomed The S'aieides for many successive nights; with applauSe commensu rate to its national importanc e . It is curious enough, not withstanding the notions of the French on the subject, that in Paris there are about four times as many suicides as in London, and-there are other cities of the Continent where the pro- portion of self.slaughter is still greater. When the , Frenchman find oat this fact, they will, suppose, swear that we are not gay enough to kill ourselves.
